Mouse has tracking troubles on multi-coloured pads, If you has small-medium hands it is palm or claw grip mouse. For large handed people only claw, go and buy ec1 if you want to palm.

Diamond 5870 in Antec 300. It does stick slightly past the drive cage, but its not obstructed by it.

(It's a build in progress, still waiting on PSU and SSD)

My brother has a GTX 260 in an antec 300 and it fits fine. It is 10.5" long and according to http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3643&p=2 the 5870 is the same length, so it should fit fine.
